About ARMv5TEJ

In 2000, the ARMv5TEJ architecture added the Jazelle® technology extension to support Java acceleration technology, which is particularly suited to small memory footprint designs. Jazelle technology’s acceleration of Java bytecodes provides significantly higher performance than a software-only based Java Virtual Machine (JVM), accelerating Java execution by 8x and providing an 80% reduction in power consumption compared to a non Java-accelerated core. This functionality gives platform developers increased freedom to run Java code alongside established operating systems (OS) and applications on an ARM processor
